Bugs Bunny's Overtures to Disaster Animated

Buy This Item Bugs Bunny's Overtures to Disaster Animated by Warner Home Video  Available from Amazon  $12.98  on 11-28-2008     This was a television special broadcast in 1991. It melds two of my all-time favorite cartoons, "The Rabbit of Seville" and "What's Opera, Doc?", along with "Baton Bunny" and some framing sequences including Granny, Sylvester, the three bears, and Yosemite Sam. There's also an original bit with Daffy, Porky, and the William Tell Overture. <br /> <br />The show tries to run the cartoons seamlessly into the action, so the original titles and credits are gone from each. I was most disappointed that "Rabbit" ended without Bugs' original punchline, "Next?" Still, it's nice to get Bugs' best orchestral works all under one roof. <br /> <br />Small bonus: The opera soloist heard during the closing credits comes from "Long-Haired Hare", another great musical Bugs cartoon. Reader Reviews Our local opera's Executive Director taught a class on "Enjoying the Opera" which I attended. He had this tape playing before the class started. I remembered the two cartoons featured--"The Rabbit of Sevile" and one based on a Wagner opera from my childhood and simply HAD to have the tape. I believe the Exeutive Director uses the tape when he teaches classes to children. An excellent cartoon for both kids and adults.
